## Notes

I'm gonna try and make it to shows by any of these guys playing alone or in any other configuration, so playing together? Gotta keep a lid on my expectations! Did I like the show? Oh yes I did! Do I have any other thoughts? Yeah, Béla seems to stay in the background a lot tonight -- probably a conscious choice to be more of a band member and supporting player instead of acting in his normal leadership role.
